Transfers rumours

[Groundhog]

Time to move for Money was probs a couple years ago, but hope it goes well for him. Exeter seem they type of club happy to take a punt on a player.

 

[big ginger 8]

Don't know if he was extremely highly rates.

Has had a few good showings at senior level, particularly in regard to his tackling. Has had an absolutely horrid time with injury though.

How many players have moved from Ireland to England and been a success?

Whitten and Steenson come to mine. O'Brien maybe?

Is a Leicester fan really asking this?

Niall Morris just wasn't that good bro.

volavola to tigs

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is it cheating to mention Jimmy Gopperth?

 

[BPM]

Jackson did well enough for London Irish.

Overall, it's fair to say that Irish players haven't done well moving to the Premiership for quite some time. The likes of Steenson, Whitten and Annett all moved quite early in their careers and were never really established with Ulster.

That works by cause Leicester sounds like a dyslexic Leinster though

Tom Hayes did OK at Exeter

 

[Groundhog]

Tadhg Furlong - Bayonne. Source: presumably Furlong's agent looking to secure a huge new contract. No way the man is let leave the country.

 

[Scotty]

This just dropped on the Chiefs Facebook. Any ideas who it could be?

SA and Aus

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Isn't there that Aussie centre?

Would imagine the SA is a prop or lock cover

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Do you need a hooker? Stormers are desperate to bin off Dweba, luckily the move to us fell through, but they're still trying to offload him

 

[West Country Wail]

I hope not. Don't rate him. Word on the street is that it's the media team trying to be clever and the cape town signing is actually Ben Cohen because they just won the u20 tournament there. Glad we've got him as he looks very promising but it's a fail from the media team if true. Other signing is the Kiwi who plays in Aus, Tua(?)

Glad we didn't end up getting Hunter Parisian, looks injury prone and expensive

Would love for this to be true. Think he'd do very well in the Prem. Proper beast of a 12.

Edit: Yippee

Yay....awwww

He added: "Unfortunately, he's arrived with a neck issue which he picked up towards the end of last season's campaign, so we're now in a position where we've had to address that and it's likely that he'll need an operation shortly which will require a period of rehab.
"So, unfortunately he's going to miss the start of the season for us, but we're very confident he'll be back on the pitch fairly early in the season and will be a player that will bring an awful lot to how we want to play, both in attack and defence."

Annoying. Would have liked to see him line up alongside Hawkins for the start of the season while Slade is out. This leaves us with 12. Hawkins 13. Wimbush which is a pairing with a lot of potential but very little experience.

 

[West Country Wail]

Street was wrong. Other signing is Kwenzo Blose at loosehead from the Stormers
